Definitions

  • Tactical ventilation can be described as performing specific venting and fire isolation actions in order to evacuate smoke and heat, to provide firefighters a clear view on the seat of fire, to pull fire away from trapped occupants, and to limit property damage.
  • a general problem of conventional smoke evacuators or fire shutters is the following: upon installing, smoke evacuators and fire shutters have to be tested, i.e. proper functioning of the valve in emergency situations has to be monitored. Normally after installation the valve is brought into its stand-by armed position by powering the electrically driven motor, however since these smoke evacuators or fire shutters in a majority of the cases are installed in new or renovated buildings without mains power supply available yet, technicians have to arm and re-arm the valve manually by means of a key instead of by triggering the motor.
  • a fire shutter comprisian a motor for re-arming a fire shutter door (i.e. opening the door), where the motor is driven bv DC from a rechaaeable battery that is to be inserted in a battery connector reachable from outside the housing of the motor.
  • this prior art is limited to stand-alone fire shutter doors closing under gravital force.
  • valves are not always easy reachable since they are installed in exhaust ducts or ventilation ducts often hidden in falls ceilings, so testing or arming manually by using a key is difficult.
  • the present invention is directed to a ventilation system comprising such smoke evacuator or fire shutter.
  • the present invention is directed to a smoke evacuator or fire shutter comprising:
  • a slot may be provided comprising battery connectors wherein a battery may be removably fixed such that the battery may be held in position during testing or (re)arming the valve.
  • the battery connector may be designed to contact a battery yet not fix said battery in connection with the battery connector.
  • any type or size of battery can be used as long as it provides sufficient power and fits the connector by manual force.
  • a slot (2) in the housing (1) of the actuation mechanism may be provided which is designed such that the battery may be at least partially inserted for easy and efficient connection but without it being fixed therein.
  • the battery is to be kept in touch with the connectors by manual force.
  • a benefit thereof is that a battery cannot be left in the slot after (re)arming the valve, thereby avoiding low battery issues.
  • such battery may simply be part of the technician's toolkit.
  • the housing (1) of the actuation mechanism may be further designed such that the battery slot (2) can be closed by means of a cover (3), preferably snap on, to keep the slot free of moisture and dust.
  • the housing of the smoke evacuator or fire shutter may be made air and dust tight.
  • the housing may protected against dust ingress and water ingress due to water splash or spray.
  • the housing may comply with an IP42 degree of protection according to standard IEC60529.
  • a smoke evacuator or fire shutter may be provided comprises a motor activation switch to activate the motor after connecting a battery to the battery connector.
  • connecting the battery to the battery connector may automatically trigger activation of the motor.
  • the electrical circuit powering the motor may then be built such that if mains power supply is available, the motor may (re)arm the valve by means of mains powered, and in case mains power is not available, the motor may be powered using battery energy.
  • the microcontroller may select the mains as power source for the motor in case mains power is detected. Consequently, even when a battery is connected with the battery connector and mains power is available as well or switched on during (re)arming, mains power energy will be used to (re)arm the valve.
  • a smoke evacuator or fire shutter may be provided wherein connecting a battery to the battery connector automatically triggers the microcontroller to activate the motor. If mains power supply is available, connecting the battery triggers the microcontroller to activate the motor and the microcontroller decides (re)arming the valve by means of mains power. In case mains power is not available and the battery triggers the microcontroller to activate the motor, the microcontroller decides powering the motor using battery energy.
  • the solenoid may be coupled to the electrical circuit in such way that it can only be powered by the mains and not by the battery. So upon connecting the battery to the battery connector, the motor may be triggered to move the valve towards armed position without affecting the solenoid. The plunger of the solenoid will stay in its inactivated (armed) position ready for being powered in case of emergency. Upon removing the battery again, the solenoid will stay unaffected as well.
  • smoke evacuators or fire shutters may be equipped with a thermo-electric fuse interrupting the power supply when the temperature in the air duct in connection with the evacuator or shutter exceeds a temperature limit, for example 72°C, or with a thermo-mechanical fuse mechanically unlocking the spring loaded mechanism when temperature exceeds a limit. So the mechanism by which the valve moves remotely from armed position into emergency position may be activated by a power pulse to the solenoid or a power interruption, or automatically by the melting down of a thermic fuse due to exceeded temperature limit in the duct.
  • smoke evacuators or fire shutters according to the present invention may be equipped with a visual indicator, for example a light emitting diode (LED), indicating the status of the (re)arming process.
  • a visual indicator for example a light emitting diode (LED), indicating the status of the (re)arming process.
  • the smoke evacuators or fire shutters according to the present invention may be equipped with a visual or audible indicator when the valve is not successfully armed.
  • the microcontroller may further be equipped for making a distinction between low battery and mechanical obstruction when the valve is not successfully armed. In case the microcontroller senses that the valve does not arrive into a specified position for being successfully actuated upon alarm, while the battery is not low or while mains power supply is available, the microcontroller will indicate mechanical obstruction.
